Right, the term was hijacked to generate hype for investors. Someone needs to call them out on it because it's also generating a lot of unnecessary fear like machines are about to gain awareness and civilization as we know it will end. It's just a bunch of companies trying to make money and are now worried that they bet on a new industrial revolution but are instead getting a specialized tool with limited application.
Quite possible. David Walsh (of Tasmania's MoMA) had a similar betting system to make his fortune. A story/warning he told to a hedge fund conference was that he _did_ think his system was infallible/bound to win, but revisiting the calculations later it turned out the expected value would be failure - he just happened to win at the right moments, initially.

In Mozart's time what was happening on the stage was a footnote to eating, talking, flirting, seeing, and being seen. Opera was a social event with background music.

Treating art with reverence and rapt attention didn't get to be a thing until the late Enlightenment. Before that the kind of art you took seriously was religious, and the idea that you were supposed to reverent about it could be considered a carry-over from religion.

Talking over things and not paying attention is almost the default. Sitting still and concentrating on a performance of any kind is a relatively recent idea.

None of this makes the crapification of Netflix (and related trends in other media touched by streaming and tech) any less annoying.

> Deflation when coupled with huge and increasing debt to service, then you have a crippling problem.

Individuals have a problem. Corporations have a problem. China may or may not have a problem. It depends on how reasonable their bankruptcy laws are. Cleaning out the system of people who aren't using capital effectively is a healthy thing to do.

And I have to say, this idea that we should focus on China's debts and dismiss their credits is suspect. I mean sure, if we ignore all the assets and income streams then they do have a problem. But that isn't reasonable. You can't ignore the strengths to make an argument they are weak.
The key thing to focus on with XKCD 1053, is that the alternative before that comic was to make fun of the person who didn't know there's a proof for, eg 1 + 1 = 2. "Oh, you didn't know there's a proof for that? are you an idiot? who doesn't know the proof for 1 + 1 = 2 by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell?", to which I think you could agree would put possible students off more by that than being told they're in luck today.

> 2. For standalone scripts... well, I think it's best to reach for a proper programming language (e.g. Python) instead of any shell language, but if I had to use one, I would pick bash. Sure, it has many footguns, but I know them pretty well. And fish language is also not ideal - e.g. IIRC it doesn't have an equivalent of `set -e`, you have to add `; or return 1` to each line.

I'm sure you know this, but: no particular reason the interactive shell you use has to match the shell you use for scripts. All of my scripts are in bash, but I haven't used bash interactively in decades now, at least on purpose.

Why would you say: people with preexisting mental health conditions are more likely to be whistleblowers? That's a very prejudiced statement if I'm correct in what you mean.

I'd rather say these people are more sensitive and aware of the consequences of their actions which is why they chose the path of a whistleblower, which is very different from saying they had mental health issues from the beginning.

Got it, so if Windows Defender (that is enabled by default on all Windows PCs) pushes an update that scans all your files on all connected drives and uploads hashes to the mothership, enables this by default and proceeds to execute the scan and upload immediately after update, but also includes a setting that lets you turn it off when you find out about its existence from some 3rd party article, that is all perfectly fine?

>volts and watts aren't the same thing. You can be fully capable of supplying 5v@2.4A and not capable of supplying 12v@1A which are the same number of watts.

For the layman, the equation is Volts x Amperes = Watts.

Where if we use the common water examples: Voltage is electric charge ("water pressure" or "volume of water"), Amperage is electric current ("water flow rate"), and Wattage is electrical energy ("amount of water transferred").

2V x 6A, 4V x 3A, 1V x 12A, 12V x 1A and similar are all 12W but they are obviously very different in nature.

> I await Trump's words

well..right now, it seems that Trump is siding with Elon on this. This hit the news today:

https://apnews.com/article/trump-maga-immigration-visas-musk...

Also remember - Trump doesn't need the votes anymore from his base. He could pivot on all of his promises or some of these things or make just enough of a visible attempt to give a perception of things are being changed. It wouldn't make a difference. He's said a lot of things and made a lot of promises since being elected the first time. Very few things actually trickled down to the average person. At least nothing that was a lasting change couldn't be undone by the next administration due to bad policy. I say this as someone who voted for him. (I knew what who I was voting for though and had very little expectations of change.)
> I'm not sure what the right call is here.

I am sure.

The right call is to never send any data from the device to anyone unless the user explicitly tells the device to do it.

The only thing the device should do is whatever its user tells it to do.

The user didn't tell it to do this. Apple did.

> But the conclusion "Thus, the only way to guarantee computing privacy is to not send data off the device." isn't true

Irrelevant. It was never about privacy to begin with. It was always about power, who owns the keys to the machine, who commands it.

Vectorization, differential privacy, relays, homomorphic encryption, none of it matters. What matters is the device is going behind the user's back, doing somebody else's bidding, protecting somebody else's interests. That they were careful about it offers little comfort to users who are now aware of the fact "their" devices are doing things they weren't supposed to be doing.

Also, Magnus isn't lookirg for sympathy, he's just saying why he can't be bothered complying with these regulations, there's not that much in it for him.
I wasn't in programming in the dot com crash, but everything from news media to friends said it was a bubble and fad. It recovered.

Fish has a lot of features out of the box I find really useful:

* Command auto suggestions as you type based on your history

* History search (using up arrow) based on a partial command

* Helpful completions and descriptions when you hit TAB

* Muti-line command editing

* Syntax highlighting

You can get all those same features in Zsh by using plugins, but those features work out-of-the-box with Fish with zero configuration. Zsh is a bit of a pain to configure, and pretty anemic without plugins. Fish makes configuration optional because it works how you'd hope your shell would out of the box. Even though Zsh has those features as plugins, they're kinda janky, not well maintained, and often conflict with other plugins.

Additionally, Fish also has:

* Excellent built in commands (string, math, argparse)

* Sane scripting (word parsing where you don't need to quote everything, etc)

* Great documentation

* A web-based configuration if you're into that sort of thing (it's a bit of a gimmick for beginners)

The main reason I use Zsh (or Bash) at all is for POSIX/portability, or for when I can't install something else. But for an interactive shell on a machine I control, it's hard to compete with Fish for speed, features, and ease of use.

Companies such as Google and Apple say they need immigrants because there aren't enough qualified workers in the US. Opponents say immigrants are depressing wages; these companies are only importing these workers in order to depress wages!

Let's see who is telling the truth. Back in 1990s, a decent salary for a fresh graduate, at a top company like Sun Microsystems was $40,000. RSUs were unknown back then, and certainly fresh graduates didn't get any! If you adjust for inflation $40K in 1990 translates to $99K in 2024. Today a fresh graduate can get a $120K offer at a top company, and another $10K to $50K in RSUs. Do you see any evidence of wage depression?

It does look like these tech companies are NOT importing workers to depress wages!
Apple's "enterprise networking" guide lists 3rd-party CDNs as subdomains of apple.com, which usually resolve to akamai or cloudflare subdomains. This allows those dynamic IPs to be blocked via dnsmasq ipset rules. In theory, they could use similar subdomain resolution for the OHTTP relays.

Since iOS was derived from macOS, perhaps Apple could restore the link between network traffic and process.

I'll start my rebuttal just by saying that it's not just me saying that cash businesses have a higher rate of tax fraud, it's something that's been studied: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01762...

Your mechanic example essentially requires a very specific business scenario to execute. The landlord example is also one that requires a very specific business scenario. E.g., I run a video game studio that is spending the next 3 years working on a game, how is that landlord going to pull off that scam? Are they going to sleep in my conference room at night and deduct it from my rent? In your example the landlord eats at the restaurant every day, but they can't really barter in this way with all their tenants.

The main point is that you with cash you can commit the fraud in the first place, not that you're going to necessarily survive an audit. The IRS from what I can tell audits a fraction of a percent of taxpayers every year and dedictate most of their resources to higher earners. The IRS going to your establishment requires that they dedicate resources to you in the first place.

But there's a really simple mechanism for defeating this cash bar audit example: only commit tax fraud with transactions from the regulars. The IRS agent walks into the bar, is a stranger, and by default their transaction is one of the legit ones. You only run the scam with customers you recognize coming in multiple times over a span of months or years.

I'll give you that Medicare and Social Security aren't paid for by business income...however, a business committing social security tax fraud with paid wages can do so much more easily using cash, so really the argument is similar – in that case it just involving checks and direct deposit instead of cash. An employee insisting on a check or direct deposit is helping ensure tax fraud doesn't happen. I imagine it's even easier to lie about hours than it is to lie about receipts, or exchange a mix of goods and money for labor. Heck, with cash, the employee doesn't even have to exist as an employee. How is the IRS going to know that you actually have two dishwashers and not one? Pay the undocumented dishwasher's salary from the cash transactions from the regulars.

As a W2 employee I have no way to avoid taxes because I have no money flowing that isn't reported to the IRS. And this idea that a large amount of W2 employees are using company assets for personal use is pretty silly, most probably don't even have any assets from the company. And, no, going on Amazon on your company laptop to buy socks doesn't qualify as significant enough personal use to equate to tax fraud.
